Optional extras

Kasuri Methi1 tsp

Instructions

1
Give the chicken a quick marinade — salt, turmeric, chili — so it is seasoned to the bone, not the surface.
2
Soften the onions down slowly with a pinch of salt till they turn the colour of dark honey.
3
Stir in the paste and green chilies, then tomato and spices, frying till the masala darkens and splits.
4
Turn the chicken through the masala with the vinegar, let it sear, then pour in warm water and cover.
5
Simmer till done — the meat should leave the bone without a fight — then finish with garam masala and cilantro.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lemon or lime right before serving wakes up every other flavour.
